Even when all ten fingers were covered in blood, he kept digging numbly.
The sky had quickly darkened.
Nuoyan approached with a heavy heart and grabbed his hand.
Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at her blankly.
"Mommy, Lan Yue is afraid of the dark. I can't leave her alone down there. She's still waiting for me, I can't let her be alone."
Nuoyan looked at him and spoke sorrowfully.
"Xiao Chen, don't be like this. Lan Yue is already… already gone."
Xiao Chen shook his head, "Mommy, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I will definitely find her. I promised her I'd catch her, promised to bring her out, I promised her, Mommy..."
Nuoyan reached out and pulled him into her arms, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, listen to me. Lan Yue was a good girl, she wouldn't want to see you like this. Only if you are well can she leave in peace."
Leave in peace!
Those words were like a sharp dagger, shattering his whole heart, and then digging it out.
